About

Darwin ward lies in the southern part of the London Borough of Bromley, primarily encompassing the residential area of Biggin Hill. The landscape is characterised by its position on the fringes of the city, where suburban streets meet more open, green spaces. It contains a significant portion of the Metropolitan Green Belt, which influences its low-density housing and semi-rural feel in places.

The area is historically linked to aviation due to the presence of Biggin Hill Airport, a former Royal Air Force station. This legacy continues to shape the local environment and community identity. The ward also includes several conservation areas and pockets of woodland, contributing to a distinct sense of separation from the more urban centres of Greater London.
